To the Editor:

I remember taking aim, slowly squeezing the trigger, and watching my shot hit the mark. As I see it, that’s true gun control — not what our politicians call gun control.

As always, instead of focusing on the criminal and the system that aids and abets him, the politicians attack firearms. Hence, the law-abiding citizen has his or her right to keep and bear arms infringed upon.

A disputed quote that some have attributed to Adolph Hitler in 1935 states as follows: “This year will go down in history. For the first time in history, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient and the world will follow our lead into the future.”
